Smoky, punchy nose with ripe sweet fruits and some florals. Warm, generous and full. Plenty of Barrosan flavour and a finish that strikes a nice balance between sweet and savoury elements.

Pretty good, but overall a bit disappointing after a goodly stay in the cellar and a double decant. Rather medicinal in character with a somewhat pleasant nose.

Solid value in the typical Australian style; this was worth cellaring for the six years (2006-2012) since bottling but it is definitely ready to drink now. Notes of chocolate over fruit-forward dark plum.

Dark brick color. Slightly weedy (blows off), earth, black plum & floral aromas. Sweet entry of blackberry, black raspberry with a mineral element & a tart, stony finish. Very solid with some air.

Tart, some VA, and the fruit is sliding away. Drink up.
